Ephesians: Body Building Did you know that God wants each of us to be body builders? Seriously, He does! … In the fourth chapter of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians church, the apostle picked up a metaphor he used frequently to describe the Christian church, referring to it as “the body of Christ.” And a […]

Galatians: Freed for Freedom In most of Paul’s letters that we read in the New Testament, he took a good bit of time at the beginning of each one to compliment and encourage the recipients of that letter. But with the Galatians, Paul doesn’t pull any punches; he just dives right in! He is perplexed by them, […]

Romans: When In Rome… Do you remember the days when people used to go to their mailboxes, anxiously awaiting the postcard from a loved one on vacation or that handwritten letter from a love interest who had moved far away? Letter writing has fallen on hard times. In our day of quick communications, it is rare for […]

Matthew: Breaking the Silence When you turn the page of your Bible from the last book of the Old Testament (Malachi) to the first book of the New Testament (Matthew), it’s easy to miss just how much actually happened between the times that those two authors took up their pens. And while many historical events took […]

Complementarian Leadership If you ever took an art class, you may remember learning about complementary colors: blue and orange, yellow and purple, red and green. These are colors that are on opposite sides of the color wheel, but that actually work well when they are used side by side. As we dive into Genesis 1-3 to look […]

Continuationist Pneumatology We are continuing our preaching series called Building Together, which is designed to cover seven values that we hold to as a church and that we share in common with a group of churches (Sovereign Grace Churches) that we are interested in potentially joining. This week’s sermon covers the 4th value, Continuationist Pneumatology, […]

Habakkuk: The Righteous Shall Live By Faith Those who enter military service typically do so for noble reasons. They are upstanding, brave, and selfless individuals who want to protect others and do good in the world. Many are even followers of Christ. But—without demonizing all of the soldiers in opposing armies—when these loved ones go […]

Amos: Lifestyles of the Rich, and Amos The people of Amos’s day lived lives of luxury and comfort. The wealthy would often live with very little regard for the poor among them, ignoring their plight. Or even worse, some would actively take advantage of them. All the while, they maintained a shell of a religion and […]

Hosea: A Love Story Like No Other While Hosea had much to say in comparison to some of the other “minor” prophets (he has 14 chapters, while some others just have one or two!), it’s actually Hosea’s marriage that has been remembered and emphasized far more than his message. What was it about this marriage that was […]

Ezekiel: The Dead Made Alive Do we really believe that God can raise the dead? Ezekiel was one of God’s prophets, sent to speak to Israelites already in exile about God’s judgment on Jerusalem. But he didn’t just focus on the judgment – he turned their eyes forward to what God would do in the […]
